“I just bought the Zip Pen and love it. The Zip Pen saves me considerable time when entering receipts into Quicken as I no longer have to stop typing to pickup a pen, mark the receipt as entered, put the pen down and then begin typing in the next receipt. Best of all, the Zip Pen doesn’t interfere with my typing nor with using my mouse." - Bill-CP Graphix

"I love the pen and it is a lifesaver to me at work. I process purchase orders for payment for the Jackson County Board of Supervisors and I had to stop and pick up a pen to sign each one and record the payment number after I keyed each one. This is such timesaver to me." - Ginger-Mississippi

"The design of the pen has allowed me to manage my time more efficiently and safer. I can do all my markings without having to turn away from the radarscope and search for a pen, allowing me to accomplish my job as safe as possible. I wish all air traffic controllers were aware of this product and how useful it can be." - Staff Sergeant U. S. Air Force-Utah

"I tried the Zip Pen about two weeks ago, I really like it. I work in a doctor’s office billing department and I like not having to constantly look for a pen." - Linda-Illinois

"I absolutely, positively love your pens! As with a lot of people, I work in an industry where I am constantly typing and writing within short spans of time. It has made me 10 times more efficient and I NEVER have to look for a pen. Besides that, my customers absolutely love it and have made them lovers out of your ingenious design. Thank you for your contribution to the marketing world and I hope to see more of your inventions in the futures." - Kyra-Indiana

"The students I work with typically have poor fine motor skills. The students typically cannot place their fingers into the proper tripod grip to write. Since the writing instrument is smaller it forces students to grasp the pen properly, which leads to better control while writing. The other benefit is that the student does not have to look over the top of the tool." - Jeannette-New Jersey

"I am a graphic artist and am constantly going back and forth between paperwork and the computer. My pens always seem to disappear when someone comes into consult on jobs or they get lost under all the paperwork on my desk. I recently bought the Zip Pen. No one can walk off with my pen and it’s always available without getting in the way." - Therese, Fort Worth

"I love your product! I am a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant at a public school in Minnesota. I work with children with a variety of dysfunction but one of the most common referrals we get is to teach young children how to hold their pencils with a tripod grasp, as the diagram on your product shows. Another therapist I work with saw your product at Office Max and thought we should try it with some of our students. I tried it with a little boy this morning that had a pencil grasp that was below age level in the developmental scale. We have been trying to “fix” his grasp for 2 years now. Imagine my thrill when I placed it in his hand and he naturally went into a tripod grasp! We as Occupational Therapists are thrilled about your product, way to go!" - Shelly-Minnesota

"I saw your Zip Pen in Office Max tonight and bought it for my son who has Cerebral Palsy. It worked for my son and I found it worked for me too. I split up my pens from the two pack, one is staying with me to work on the computer and the other is going to school to introduce the pen to the Special Ed department. You’ve made an excellent, practical, and reasonably priced product that can be helpful to so very many people." - Paula-Hawaii

"This is by far the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time. I’ll never have to go looking for a pen again. I am 50 years young and a typist originally. Now I do Graphic Design and data entry. I can’t believe I never thought of this. Thanks." - Becky-Massachusetts

"I just purchased a two pack of pens at Staples and let me tell you the second I put the pen on my finger and did a quick typing test; I knew this was the best contraption yet for those of us who multitask between computers and good old pen and paper. This is right up there with the great office inventions of “White Out” and “Post-it Notes” Ya did good!!!" - Ellen-Texas

"I love your pens!! What a great idea! I’m in inside sales, and am constantly going from keyboard to paper! This makes it so much quicker and easier to process the calls." - Irene-Wisconsin

"I am a supervisor for a emergency 911 center and when I first saw the Zip Pen at Office Depot while shopping for my daughter’s school supplies, I got that skillet in the back of the head-what a great idea! I bought some and we are test-driving a few of the pens in the 911 center. We are getting great responses, thanks to you all for this great idea." - George-Pennsylvania

"Thanks for the creative thinking in your organization that came up with the Zip Pen. It may be used as a convenience by many, but for my seventeen –year-old daughter, it is the key to being able to write with her hand. She has a neurological movement disorder called dystonia. The pen has been a great help to her." - Cynthia

"I absolutely love the “concept” of this pen. My job requires both keyboard use and writing all day long. I get so tired of putting down and picking up my pen (as I’m sure you know this since it is evident that is why you made this pen!) I just started using it today and I’m sure it will be a permanent fixture at my desk each day. I plan on sharing the “news” of this pen with lots of coworkers." - Julia-Washington

"I have an 8-year-old son who has Asperger’s syndrome. He can’t hold a pencil correctly and struggles to write. A friend of mine showed me a Zip Pen that she uses at work. I told her I wondered if my son could use this pen better than a regular pen or pencil. I borrowed her Zip Pen, took it home for him to try. He was writing so much better, and he was holding it correctly! He said, “Momma, I like this pen it fees good, and is easy for me to use. Thank you so much for making his life a little better." - Pam-Oklahoma

"I have been using the Zip Pen in my home office for six months. It has made me more efficient in performing my work duties. I am ready for more Zip Pens in different colors, highlighters, markers, and new designs. Let me know when new models are coming to market. Keep up the good work."
- Jim-Kansas

"I work in a busy Police/Fire/Ambulance Communication Center. We frequently go from typing to taking messages and are continually answering phones as well as talking on the radio. We often get up and move from place to place and it never seems we can keep track of the same pen an entire shift! Zip Pen is always handy and comfortable to wear. Everyone we show wishes they'd thought of it!" -- Nici, Emporia, Kansas

"I'm a freelance writer, constantly talking notes. I've bought every conceivable kind of portable pen - from Space Pens to markers on silver chains, to stuff that hooks on my belt loop. But I never found anything always accessible, yet unobtrusive. Yours is the best solution-- and I don't mind spending a minute saying so. (Too often, people write only to complain.) Now, if I could just get a Zip Pen made of silver so it would look like Goth jewelry. ." -- Hampton S.- Kansas City

"I am a Director of a residential treatment facility and usually sign hundreds of documents a day. The ability to have my hands free to type and answer the phone is very critical for me everyday. I started using the Zip Pen two weeks ago and my productivity has gone up which allows me to spend more time with the kids. The kids would like to thank Zip Pen and my employees now all have one for their daily use." -- Dax Charles, Colorado

"I am an extremely busy Property Manager and need a pen in my hand every minute I am in my office. The Zip Pen is one of the best tools to help me through my work day! I can type on the computer, file paperwork and even shake the hands of my clients and your Zip Pen is completely out of the way! Thank you Zip Pen! You are absolute genius!" -- Susie, Los Osos, California

"When I first get to work I put on my name badge and my Zip Pen. Because I do many different tasks with my hands at work, I was constantly picking up and putting down a pen. Now, it's on my hand and always ready to write. It's so convenient!" -- Peggy from Centennial, Colorado

“The instructions said I should try the pen and stylus for 48 hours before responding. I hardly needed 48 seconds to know that you got it right. I’ve tried several fingertip styli and given them pretty good reviews, but they all suffered from the same problem: unless you clamp the stylus very tightly on your index finger—to tightly for comfort—you can’t control it. What amazes me is that you were able to break through the expectation that a fingertip stylus must go on your index finger. Was it one person’s concept or the result of brainstorming?” -- Susan Gustafson, Editor Pocket Press

“I work in a busy clinic as a nurse. I was always leaving my pen somewhere else. With the Zip Pen, I don't have to leave the room, and the patient, to go searching for something to write with. It is always handy, and almost always strikes up a conversation with who ever is near. The Zip Pen has made my job easier and faster.” -- Jennifer, Beloit, KS
